Hi all,

In the siesta's manual, we can learn that the kgrid_Monkhorst_Pack is defined by the following data block, where Mk(j,i) are integers and dk(i) are usually either 0.0 or 0.5:

%block kgrid_Monkhorst_Pack
Mk(1,1) Mk(2,1) Mk(3,1) dk(1)
Mk(1,2) Mk(2,2) Mk(3,2) dk(2)
Mk(1,3) Mk(2,3) Mk(3,3) dk(3)
%endblock kgrid_Monkhorst_Pack

But, till now, I only have been seen that the kgrid_Monkhorst_Pack is set by the following form:

%block kgrid_Monkhorst_Pack
Mk(1,1) 0 0 dk(1)
0 Mk(2,2) 0 dk(2)
0 0 Mk(3,3) dk(3)
%endblock kgrid_Monkhorst_Pack

In my mind, in all the tutorials or the sample fdf files found on this list, all of them use the diagonal matrix form as the kgrid_Monkhorst_Pack dataset.

Any hints on this?

Regards.
